Aam Aadmi Party leader MLA Somnath Bharti on Thursday night made a sensational allegation that the Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung had “threatened” to file an FIR against him if he continued to raise the issue of change of land use of a plot from a nursery school to a BJP office.

Bharti said that the alleged threat from the LG came during a Delhi Development Authority meeting today on Thursday.

The meeting took place at the Raj Niwas to “confirm” the minutes of the previous meet held on 23 September , when Bharti was “not present”.

“The Delhi government had given several requests for land for schools and hospitals. Nothing is happening on that end and here land is being given to the BJP for political purpose, which was earlier alloted for building a nursery school, Bharti said.

He added, “I wanted to know if any study had been done to ascertain whether people want a school or not. They were not responding to my questions, but I kept on asking about it. I also furnished all letters from Delhi government demanding land for school and hospital… the LG said he will see to that an FIR is registered against me.”

The LG office has been quick to deny the allegations but the social media went berserk with the dominating theme being of sharp criticism for the LG.

LG is one of the only Governors, who is bringing shame to all the past and present Governors! Just imagine giving away a property where a school was supposed to be made – to BJP to build a party office is plain and simple outrageous! And to threaten the MLA with the police complaint as a retort to that – just shows he is indeed a STOOGE and a Pappu in BJP’s hands! I hope BJP is not throwing away their golden chance of showing the change in India, with such stray incidents – people’s belief in them is already crumbling and AAP’s win of 67-3-0 is just a super strong example to learn from!
